‘D’you—er—have you seen her before?’

‘Yes. I know who she is.’

‘But, Grinstead, this painting is seventy years old—probably nearer eighty! You’re not being serious—I mean… What do you mean?

On a dark winter’s night in 1970, Horley and Grinstead huddle for warmth in the Senior Common Room of a college in Oxford. Conversation turns to the two impressive works of art that Horley has recently added to his collection.

What the two men don’t know is that these pieces are connected in mysterious and improbable ways, and they are about to be caught in the cross-fire of a story which has travelled time and worlds.

Maigrir, Billy Halleck ne demandait pas mieux. Ses cent dix kilos n’étaient-ils pas le seul problème de ce paisible avocat, mari et père comblé, dans sa petite ville du Connecticut ? Et puis un vieux chef gitan l’a touché du doigt en lui disant : « Maigris ! » Après avoir tué accidentellement une femme du clan, Billy venait quasiment d’être innocenté par ses amis les notables, juge et policier… De fait, Billy se met à maigrir de façon alarmante. Jusqu’au moment où il comprend qu’il est victime d’un maléfice, vengeance impitoyable des gens du voyage méprisés et chassés de partout dans l’Amérique des « hommes blancs de la ville ». Quelques semaines plus tard, il ne reste de lui qu’un fantôme hagard, au bord de la folie, menant avec son seul ami, un mafieux sicilien, un dernier combat pour tenter de lever le sortilège.

Their radio is sabotaged. The wolves are gathering outside. And for the increasingly desperate mercenaries, the worst is yet to come in chapter three of The Boy in the Iron Box: the box is empty.

In the wake of an inexplicable disappearance, Liev and his men use their tactical skills to last the night—by going hunting. Following a small, bare footprint in the snow leads only to the realization that someone, or something, is hunting them.

From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes The Hunted, chapter three of The Boy in the Iron Box, a blood-chilling serialized novel about an ancient secret that was never meant to be unleashed, featuring exclusive interior artwork. Each chapter can be read or listened to in one breathless sitting.
